The relation “is parallel to” on a set S of all straight lines in a plane is : -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

(d) An equivalence relationLet R = {(x, y) : line x is parallel to line y, x y ∈ set of coplanar straight lines}. • Every line is parallel to itself. So, if x ∈S, then (x, x) ∈R ⇒ R is reflexive • If (x, y) ∈R ⇒ x | | y ⇒ y | | x ⇒ (y, x) ∈R ⇒ R is symmetric • (x, y) ∈R and (y, z) ∈R ⇒ x | | y and y | | z ⇒ x | | z ⇒ (x, z) ∈R ⇒ R is transitive ∴ R being reflexive, symmetric and transitive, it is an equivalence relation.
